RE: '97 rear fender removal
Okay there must be something else because the bolts in the struts have been removed as have the turn signals so nothing is connectedfrom the seat back. It looks like there is a bolt in the front the fender that would come out behind the battery but I cannpt get to it without removing the wheel.
Somebody please help me out. I 've got to getthis to the painter before the weather breaks.
THANKS!

RE: '97 rear fender removal
WellI finally got the bastard off and now I am nervous as hell about putting it back on freshly painted. The bolt in the front of the fender was barley accessable from the left side of the bike and threaded in to a clip instead of a nit so removing the battery would have been useless. There was no plug on the tailight either so I had to snip the wires and will solder on the re-install.

I have an 02 and I have the same setup you have. To get to that last bolt I removed my rear wheel 1st. This make it much easier. I suggest you remove the wheel before you put your freshly painted rear fender back on. Also, did you cut your turn signal wiring to remove them? I had to because I couldn't get the turn signal connectors to pass thru the thru hole for the turn signals. They make a special tool to remove the double lock on the AMP connector, but I didn't have it and had to resort to a pair of diagonal cutters. I'll have a bit of soldering to do to get mine hooked back up.
